Livingston On Verge Of Deal With Heat Oct 03, 2008 4:27 AM EST Former high lottery pick Shaun Livingston is on the verge of signing a contract with the Miami Heat, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It is believed that Livingston will meet with the Heat on Friday where he will sign a contract. Agent Henry Thomas said earlier this week that Livingston was "leaning toward Miami." The move may mean more moves are on the horizon for the Heat, with Pat Riley trying to keep his ball club away from the luxury tax. According to the report Miami may try to trade away Daequan Cook or Dorell Wright for nothing in return. Sidelined since a devastating knee injury in the middle of the 2006-07 season, the 6-foot-7 playmaker was not retained as a free agent this summer by the Clippers, who drafted him directly out of high school with the No. 4 overall selection in 2004. _______________________________________________ With this in mind, shouldn't Minnesota just offer back one of next years 2nd Round picks they got from Miami (Mario C trade)? Daequan Cook or Dorell Wright would be nice additions to the team or at least good additions to any future trade....any thoughts?
Shocked Dorell Wright is on the block. Sure a lot of teams would be after him. Especially if as implied for nothing but some wiggle room under the luxury tax. -Petey
